The 15- to 20-lb. class 975CS is ideal for a wide variety of inshore and offshore saltwater applications.

The new 975 has the power and line capacity to beat the baddest dish from the backcountry to the blue water.

Tough...and Beautiful.
Every Penn International baitcasting reel features a lightweight, one piece forged machined aluminum frame. The spool is machined from solid bar stock aluminum. Both smooth, contoured side plates are forged, machined aluminum. The frame, spool and side plates are finished with Penn's trademark gleaming gold anodized finish, for the durability, corrosion resistance and good looks saltwater anglers demand.
